Places infiltrate my memory into action
Sounds trigger my interaction with others
My interdisciplinary practice spans video, installation to sculpture and live performance; merging digital technologies with lo-fi craft. My beguiling sculptures, immersive video narratives, dialogical platforms and multi-sensory interventions are propelled by a desire to seek truth and simplicity through the reconstruction of our learnt cultural forms and formers. Piercing people, place, action, material, time; my sculptures, environments, interactions… confront viewer with a scatological reassessment of our migratory histories, pinpointing our individual spiritual dilemmas and possible resolve of our collective socio-politico constructs. Through dark humour and play as glue, I re-invent experiences that unlock our psychological inner landscapes in a bid to precipitate change and offer new perspectives on how we can co-exist and find a way to be content. How we can live together across localities and seek to actively co-create the environment in which we leave.
From;
embodying seer/savant/dictator in Military Craft- reinterpreting eccentric 18th century Bavarian ruler Ludwig II to tell a holocaust love story, deploying the tarot cards to map Marseille’s port flux, re-presenting American occult figure of Sarah Winchester crossed with Jane Austen in Amnesia; A Rehearsal bringing together a large scale research trajectory across Hong Kong-Califnornia in Interval; A Narrative Psychosis - my 13 channel video installation transformed gallery into labyrinth set stage- I use forgotten detritus to interpret a sublime paradise sanctuary inhabited by colourful creatures from scrap materials- jumping interminably on a trampoline in a Scottish forest- exploring food production in China with local families… interviewing Steven Speilberg’s scriptwriter- scaling the heights of Palm Springs aerial tramway, panning South China sea vistas- devising a carbon sockprint formulae in Sock Exchange…
my art enables me to incite dialogue through participation with people far and wide, to delve deep across borders to mine the subtle boundaries between truth/fiction, to instigate spiritual reprieve so we may begin to heal our histories and value our biosphere, to give each other a chance.
With a dose of wonder along the way.
art journey begins here…
